What is 0.88 percent of 57 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 57 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 57 is 100%, so we can write it down as 57=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.88% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.88%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 57=100%
2) x=0.88%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
57/x=100%/0.88%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 0.88% of 57

57/x=100/0.88
(57/x)*x=(100/0.88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
57=113.63636363636*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (113.63636363636) to get x
57/113.63636363636=x
0.5016=x
x=0.5016

now we have:
0.88% of 57=0.5016
